Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[CaptainCurtis]

1.3k clicks on OZB as of 4:30pm. Even if say 1/2 of those go through that's 100 cases of the wine they would need to have sitting around. Going to be a lot more clicks by tomorrow ....I wouldn't be surpised if Wynns just cancels the whole lot.

Let's wait and see, I imagine it would show as out of stock if they had run out.

Time will tell, no doubt.

what are your thoughts on not posting deals from this thread to OB in the future?

 

[mini2]

Stock level and TWE's willingness to honour the orders are very separate things.

This is just one of the many communities I am part of. I have benefitted from hundreds of deals on OzB (including many on wine that haven't been posted here). I of course give those here the opportunity to purchase first.

At the very least, you could've wait for us to get our tracking numbers first.

And my other community would complain that I waited too long to share it. Can't please everyone. It's only a bottle of wine.

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on that point. Meanwhile a couple of us agree on my point though.

180 likes and 2000 clicks. I'm sure @CaptainCurtis is a popular bloke over there for the next 12 hours then when TWE cull all the orders, plenty of whingers will appear.

I think you just need to know what kind of deals and what kind of communities each site is.
I have benefited from OZbargain and also shares other deals with them.
But as you understand, FF especially this wine deals section is a very specialised in wines with a small communities.
If the wines are those widely advertised by wineries or if you found those first and let everyone here know, I think no one would complaint.

So disappointing.

If a wine deal is posted on ozb but not on here, it isn't a wine deal.

So your ok with posting deals from AFF to OB but don’t do the same back?

No doubt AFF cannot give you the likes OB can, if that’s what you need, it’s a free country.

If anyone comes across a good deal, please feel free to PM it to me (if your worried about it being OzBargained and shut down.) I will only share it with other AFFers.

The entitlement force is strong on this one.

Just burned off my Coldstream Hills birthday voucher on the Reserve Trio, consisting of a reserve shiraz, cab sav and chardonnay for $100 less $25 (less $20 if you use the Welcome code).

EDIT - stuff it. A second case ordered using the Welcome code...

 

[vedder50]

That would be me, I wanted to give everyone here a chance to purchase first. I can't see them cancelling these orders. There's no pricing error, and the $25 coupon for first time users is a long-running offer.

If you want to post the deals you find yourself to OZB that's one thing, but re-posting deals there that other people post here is straight up amateur hour. I'm not surprised the OP doesn't intend to post more now.

Seems like there is a lot of that going around here this afternoon. Breakdowns en masse over an $11 bottle of wine in the midst of a global pandemic... had to check my address bar to make sure this was AFF and not OzB.

Hey everyone, this is all a bit grumpy. Maybe understandably, but perhap Cap Curtis didn't appreciate how importantly people view this. CC can you possibly commit to curtailing the reposting thing so we don't chill the forum? That would be a shame if we killed this good place.

Nah we should get over ourselves and our sense of entitlement.

Thanks for the words of calm Bill, they certainly appear to be in short supply here at the moment. I would have thought 36 hour would have been long enough for most here to put their orders through, especially considering that most would have email alerts set-up on this thread. And if posting to OzB causes Wynns to cancel the orders, well, would this really be the first time an order has been cancelled? This wasn't a pricing error, this was a promotion offered by TWE.

The Wolf Blass deal appears to have originated on OzB, but many here benefitted from it. The good comes with the bad. Overall, most here would be ahead. Drop the entitlement and wait for the next deal.

That's another possible solution! Will it get up? I'm just keen for us all to stay friendly...
